We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live on Tuesday, September 10th.
Please refer to our blog post for an overview of all major changes.
In this release, we're introducing the ability to set metadata for products, similar to the previous feature we've done for blogs.
To show the Products Meta description, change the HTML for the Individual Product Large Layout to include the corresponding tags in the <head> tag. You can use {tag_productmetatitle} and {tag_productmetadescription} to output the product title and meta description, and they can be used for other meta properties as well.
Here's a code snippet:
<html>
<head>
<title>{tag_productmetatitle}</title>
<meta content="{tag_productmetadescription}" name="description" />
<meta content="{tag_productmetatitle}" property="og:title" />
<meta content="{tag_productmetadescription}" property="og:description" />
</head>
<body>
...... rest of the product template code..........
</body>
</html>
To populate the Meta description for your products, you can use the product import - we've updated the export and the import files with a Product Meta Description column, it's the last column in the import template file.
Note: You still need to import all the product information (fill in all the rows and columns) even if only wanting to update the Product Meta Description.
